Résumé du livre
A biography of the painter and revolutionary Gustave Courbet. One of the fathers of Realism, a style he created with his huge canvases of his birthplace in Ornans (After Dinner at Ornans, 1849 and The Stonebreakers, 1850), Courbet chose his subjects from ordinary life and portrayed them with monumental dignity. A man with big appetites for life, women and politics, he frequently found himself at odds with French authorities.
